Avid Amphibious Floats

[av8rps]

If anybody runs across the rigging for the avid straight floats, im looking for some. Thought i saw just the struts once for sale for 100 bucks but when I checked the measurments with the mounts on the Kitfox they didnt fit. Wasnt sure what was up with that. Though the avid and kitfox mounts were the same.

The Avid only has three attach points per side and the later kitfox has four. So the strut attach is different (unless you have a very early fox). But you could probably make them work.

Well, I looked through all my papers and files and couldn't find anything giving install details on Avid floats. But I did find a few pictures of Avid floats, straight and amphib on a plane or two for visual reference. The picture out of the old Avid brochure I thought was good because it shows the position of the step on the Avid prototype.

Thanks for stepping up with the great photos and info Paul. You're the float guru when it comes to Kitfox.

Hope to stop over while at AirVenture this year and visit a spell.

You are quite welcome. I like to help out my friends (especially when they want to float their Kitfox )

I look forward to seeing you at OSHKOSH.

Oh, and THANK YOU and the other moderators that keep this site going for all of us!!

Hi Scott,

Glad to hear you felt that helped. If you want more information check into the other post I just put up regarding a "Kitfox Hidro". There I put a whole bunch of Aerocet float specs you might also find useful.
